Jouni,
I found the error! I got bored this past weekend and changed my
mathtext.fontset to 'stixsans' just to see hopw it would look -- and then
forgot about it. Changing that value back to 'cm' let's my original code and
pyTest.py run without errors.
I really appreciate your help with this and all of the other insight I've
gained from the regular contributers to this list.
Many thanks,
-paul
Regardless, here's my command line output with stixsans as my mathtext.fontset:
